A White House official told Washington Post that President Donald Trump is "at the peak of just not giving a f**k anymore", explaining the rationale behind the reciprocratory tariffs that the president announced on April 2. "Bad news stories? Doesn't give a f**k. He's going to do what he's going to do. He's going to do what he promised to do on the campaign trail," a Washington Post report quoted a White House official as saying.
